Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
condition_array | dynamic |
✔️ | An array of boolean or numeric values. |
when_true | dynamic or scalar | ✔️ | An array of values or primitive value. This will be the result when condition_array is true. |
when_false | dynamic or scalar | ✔️ | An array of values or primitive value. This will be the result when condition_array is false. |
Note
- The length of the return value will be the same as the input condition_array.
- Numeric condition values are considered
true
if not equal to 0. - Non-numeric and non-boolean condition values will be null in the corresponding index of the return value.
- If when_true or when_false is shorter than condition_array, missing values will be treated as null.
Returns
Returns a dynamic array of the values taken either from the when_true or when_false array values, according to the corresponding value of the condition array.
Examples
print condition=dynamic([true,false,true]), if_true=dynamic([1,2,3]), if_false=dynamic([4,5,6])
| extend res= array_iff(condition, if_true, if_false)
Output
condition | if_true | if_false | res |
---|---|---|---|
[true, false, true] | [1, 2, 3] | [4, 5, 6] | [1, 5, 3] |
Numeric condition values
print condition=dynamic([1,0,50]), if_true="yes", if_false="no"
| extend res= array_iff(condition, if_true, if_false)
Output
condition | if_true | if_false | res |
---|---|---|---|
[1, 0, 50] | yes | no | [yes, no, yes] |
Non-numeric and non-boolean condition values
print condition=dynamic(["some string value", datetime("01-01-2022"), null]), if_true=1, if_false=0
| extend res= array_iff(condition, if_true, if_false)
Output
condition | if_true | if_false | res |
---|---|---|---|
[true, false, true] | 1 | 0 | [null, null, null] |
Mismatched array lengths
print condition=dynamic([true,true,true]), if_true=dynamic([1,2]), if_false=dynamic([3,4])
| extend res= array_iff(condition, if_true, if_false)
Output
condition | if_true | if_false | res |
---|---|---|---|
[true, true, true] | [1, 2] | [3, 4] | [1, 2, null] |
